Basic Elasticity and viscoelasticity In the physically stressful environment there are three ways in which a material can respond to external forces. It can add the load directly onto the forces that hold the constituent atoms or molecules together, as occurs in simple crystalline (includ- ing polymeric crystalline) and ceramic materials such materials are typically very rigid; or it can feed the energy into large changes in shape (the main mechanism in noncrystalline polymers) and flow away from the force to deform either semiper- manently (as with viscoelastic materials) or permanently (as with plastic materials).
